The Subscribe and Save feature on Amazon is an often-overlooked opportunity for sellers. This feature enables consumers to easily establish recurring orders, thus eliminating the need for costly brand advertising and reducing the risk of losing loyal customers to competitors. This service is particularly beneficial for merchants who offer consumable products, as it ensures a predictable revenue stream and allows for increased customer retention. Below are some benefits and a video describing the program.

- 51% of Amazon Prime members and consumers who identify as “brand loyal” have utilized the Subscribe and Save feature, with 51% and 45% respectively having availed of the service.

This additional discount is provided at no cost to the merchant, and is available for a limited time period.
